Is it permissible to read fiction by Muslim authors and the reason for its permissibility or non permissibility?

Answer

If there is nothing unislamic and it is teaching some good values and morals then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
